What: The Wedding Filmer, visit www.theweddingfilmer.co.in or find the Facebook group here, price on request.
Why: Because a picture is worth a thousand words (or a lakh rupees)? It’s your wedding day after all, and you’re the star of the show. Ring celebrity filmmaker Vishal Punjabi (he’s worked with Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee and Akon) and he’ll shoot, edit and script your wedding footage (HD only!) in whichever format you want, from a three minute music video to a thirty minute documentary. Blockbuster!
When: You want to forget-me-knot.

What: New fabric store Neel, shop no G-1, Heera House, 1st Road, opposite Madhu Park, Khar (W), call 26492600, Rs 1,299 for a meter of feather fabric.
Why: While a lot of this day-old store is all shine and shimmer, your eyes will be baled out by some fun fabric with panels and poufy satin feathers, ready to be turned into flapper dress or mini. Also see batik prints, fish scale sequined patterns and if you like it wild, animal prints. Georgette of the jungle!
When: You want a new jersey.

What: Kuchh Nai Scotch whisky, available at wine shops including Topmost Wines and Juben Wines, visit www.kuchhnai.com, Rs 1,950 for 750 ml.
Why: What can we get you this fine Friday morning? Say “Kuchh Nai” and you’ll receive a tumbler of full bodied whisky with a trace of smoke, that recently travelled from Scotland to Mumbai. This giggle-inducing golden liquid is just the sweet nothing you want on a balmy night.
When: You’d like an offer you can’t refuse.

What: Secret Wardrobe, visit www.secretwardrobe.in, call 09821178804 or 65293067, Rs 2,000 to rent a Wendell Rodricks dress for 24 hours.
Why: Can’t make it in Mumbai? Here’s one way to fake it: Log onto Secret Wardrobe, an online rental hub that leases designer lovelies to the ladies, including Masaba Gupta’s iconic hand print sari, a fun black and white dress by Rahul Mishra, brown sequined sheath by Abraham and Thakore and more that you can try on for size at their Juhu studio. We aren’t big fans of the costume jewellery and sherwanis (men, look for rentals here instead).
When: In the season of Lent.

What: Untitled Exhibition #1 with Padmini Chettur, G5A Laxmi Mills Compound, off Dr. E. Moses Road, Mahalaxmi, visit the website here, free.

She’ll also be taking questions and interacting with the audience.
